Partially calcified renal cell carcinoma mimicking renal calculus.
Radiologic evaluation disclosed a renal tumor and a calcified mass in the right kidney of a 45-year-old man. The resected kidney revealed that a renal cell carcinoma had invaded the renal pelvis and the polypoid intrapelvic portion had undergone calcification resulting in a pseudocalculus.
